DEATH In THE WATER.
Is the Element We Drink Decimatipo
the Peoples
How Universal Menace to Health
May be DiSarmed.


section in one of the leading cities of the
state were Frustrated with a malignant
disease, and upon Investigation it was
found that only those who used water
from famous old well were the victims.
Professor S. A. baltimore, analyst of
the New York State Board of Health, up
on an6lyzing water from this well, found
It more deadly than the city sewagel.
The filing up of the old well stopped
the ravages of the disease.
Not long since the writer noticed while
some men were making an excavation for
large building, stratum of dark color
ed earth running from near the surface
TO hard pan. There it took another
course toward a well near at hand. The
water from this well had for years been
tainted with the DRAWINGS from receiv-
ing vault the percolations of which had
discolored the earth!
Terrible!
similar condition of things exists in
every village and city where well water is
used, and though the fltering which the
fluids receive in passing through the earth
Il ay give tn m clear appearance, yet the
poison and disease remains, though the
water may look never so clear.
1t is still worse with the farmer, for
the drainage from the barn yaer and the
Stops from the kitchen eventually find
their way into the family well.
The same condition of things exists in
Dur large cities, whose water supplies are
rivers fed by little streams that carry
the filth and drainage from houses. This
water" is eventually drunk by rich and
poor alike with great evil.
Some cautious people resort to the FL
ter for purifying this water, but even the
flter does not remove this poison, for
water of the most deadly character may
pass through this filter and become clear,
Yet the poison disguised is there.
They who use filters know that they
must be renewed at regular periods, for
even though they do not take out all the
lmpurity, they soon become foul.
Now in like manner tbs human kidneys
act as filter for the blood, and if they
are filled VI with i'm purities and become
foul, like the filter, all the blood in the
system coursing through them becomes
bad, for it is now conceded fact that
the kidneys are the chief means whereby
the blood is purified. These organs are
filled with thousands of haiT-like tubes
| which drain the impurities from the
| blood, as the sewer pipes drain impuri-
ties from our houses.
If a sewer pipe breaks under the house,
the sewage escapes into the earth and
fills the house with poisonous gas; so If
any of the thousand and one little hair
like sewer tubes of the kidneys break
down, the entire body is affected by this
awful poison.
| 1t is a scientific fact that the kidneys
have few nerves of sensation; and, conse-
| quently, disease may exist in these Or
| gans for long time and not be suspect
ed by the individual. 1t is impossible to
| filter or take the death out of the
blood when the least arrangement exists
i'll these organs, and if the blood is not
filtered then tho uric acid, or kidney poi
son, removable only by Warmers safe
cure, accumulates in the system and at,
tacks any organ, producing nine out of
! ten ailments, just as sewer gas and bad
drainage produce SO many fatal disorders.
Kidney disease may be known to exist
| if there is any marked departure from or
binary health without apparent known
cause, and it should be understood by all
that the greatest peril exists, and is in
| tensifed, if there is the least neglect to
treat it promptly with that great specific,
Warmers safe cure, a remedy that has re-
ceived tho highest recognition by scien-

Vestigated the character of kidney de-
| engagements.
They may not tell us that the cause of
SO many diseases in this organ IS the i'm
pure water or any other one thing, but
this poisonous water with its impurities
coursins continuity through these delicate
organs undoubtedly does produce much of
| the decay and disease which eventually
terminate In the fatal BIights disease,
for this disease, alike among the drink
! ing men, prohibitionists, the tobacco
! slave, the laborer, the merchant and the
tramp, works terrible devastation every
| year.
1t is we'll known that the liver which is
| so easily thrown 'Out of gear" as they
say, very readily disturbs the action of
| the Kidneys. That organ when derang ed,
| Immediately announces the fact by sallow
| skin, constipated bowels, coated tongue,
and headaches, but the kidney when dis
eased, struggles on for long time, and
| the fact of its disease can only be discoV-
cred by the aid of the microscope or by
| the physician who is skillful enough to
trace the most indirect effects in the sys-
TEN to the arrangement of these organs,
as the prime cause.
The pubic is learning much on this
! subject and when it comes to understand
| that the kidneys are the real health regu
lators, as they are the real blood purifiers
of the system, they will escape an infinite
length of days and Happiness to their lot
